Hi y'all!
My name is Olivia Calandro and I am from Arlington, Texas. In the fall I will be a junior at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN (I don't know if y'all have heard what is going on at Vanderbilt with the religious life, but it would be great if y'all could be praying for the hearts of the administration as they try to kick the Christian organizations off campus next year). I am studying Special Education and Early Childhood Education, which pretty much shows I love kids and teaching! That is why I am so excited to get to use that passion and my passion for Jesus in the DR this summer. I have never done anything like this and I've never been to the DR, so this will all be very new to me, but I know this is where God wants me to be this summer! I don't know any Spanish really, so I will be trying to learn a bit this summer before heading to the DR, but I am also excited to learn from all of y'all who know Spanish!
And I got baptized two weeks ago which was amazing, so I can't wait to share my story of what Jesus is doing in my life with y'all! I can't wait to meet y'all!
In Him who loves us!
Olivia
